Mine just arrived yesterday, I also got the ELRS version. I have to say the overall quality of the radio is impressive. The newbies don't know how good they have it these days. This radio is hugely capable in theory if the hardware proves reliable. First impressions are good and the plastics are definitely more solid than what FrSky has done with the old x9d plus, which is what I'm replacing. Just flew the first time today, flew a plane around the field. Maybe 40 minutes or so of flight time and I had no weird radio issues so definitely pleased so far. I am all in on this ELRS stuff, it's just so cool. I'm a guy that flies planes and quads, one feature I am hoping they come out with sometime in the future is the ability to set your preferred packet rate during model setup, so that when you change over to a plane it will go to 333 or 100 automatically. Then when you go to a race quad it goes right to FLRC1000, then you can have a long range model where it goes to Lora250 or 150. That would be cool if it did this for you without having to change it manually when you switch between models.

I think I like almost everything about this radio! One thing though, I would prefer the 2-position switches on the shoulders of the tranny and the push buttons on the front like my TX12 Mk2. Nice to see the extra trim switches gone! Got to get me one of those batteries.

Totally agree , my new TX16S is still in its box as I still use the Jumper T12 plus which has most items this radio is missing and was tremendous value. Both on Open Tx i've still not yet been able to crossover from the T12 external 4in1 to the TX16S internal yet without model challenges from the copied list .

It really does seem to be physically between the tx12 & tx16s, but with lesser processing oomf (like the qx7 vs x9d+). It will likely be right at home in many hangers with simple to moderate models, without being 'too small' like some folks say about the tx12. Also probably a great trainer unit.

Nice review. So its just a square zorro basically. With the 6 position switch. Looking for a new fixed wing transmitter and i would have liked it if it had a couple more switches over the zorro but doesn't offer much more. That battery life is sweet though! Looks like the tx16s it is then.

Just received mine (UK 4in1) - quite disappointed that it doesn't support Radiomaster's very own receivers - specifically R84/R81/R86 (version 1's - D8 - tho' R168 D16's are OK) - unless you know better ? Otherwise, a _very neat_ and tidy transmitter - much more ergonomic (and lighter) than the TX16s (IMHO) - might even be a keeper this time 🙂 The textile handle is actually a nice feature for me. Surprised that no-one uses e-paper displays for transmitters - even though they are slower, the visibility is 100% (in the light 🙂) - and put them at the top of the tx, not hide them under the neckstrap /rant.

Bearing in mind we fly in the UK, is it showerproof? My Taranis and Futaba are not! In the multi-mode version, does it support the older taranis non-eu and eu, as well as the newer versions (the new one won't 'talk' to the old one, and v/v) and it's a pain having to upload different versions to an rx, each time you need to change. (I recently bought some new rx's, then had to send them back to be re-loaded with the other, older version!)

Yes. One of the better things about the RM Boxer Gimbals is that you change the spring return / tension etc all from the front. The bad news is RM don't give any info about which screws do what. Another bad thing is after the TX has been sitting around for months with the springs under tension ... guess what ... the're stretched.
